Buying From Japanese Auction Using A Proxy

[stripey]

Just been looking around and come across http://www.tenso.com/en/

has anybody used this service??

looks nifty as you can buy direct from Japanese auctions i.e yahoo auction where they don't allow shipping out of japan

item gets sent to the proxy i.e tenso you pay them a fee based on weight of item and destination.

item gets shipped to you at a fraction of retail here in australia

and an example of a website to navigate the auction http://www.jauce.com/auction/l184965212

sounds a bit like tradeview however they still use your local importers. Def keen to hear aswell if anyone has used or knows anything..

Never heard of Tenso, but I have used Import Monster and Jesse Streeter who offer a similar, if not the same service. I would recommend Import Monster or Jesse Streeter to anyone!

Ditto. Ive bought through Jesse and I bought HEAPS through Import Monster; highly recommend both. IM is great for being 'self service', Jesse has extremely competitive (read: cheaper) rates though.

IM are a big supporter of the local car scene, so I like supporting them

Jesse Streeter is awesome. He can buy parts directly from manufacturers as well!

I got my Cusco brake master stopper within 5 working days, ultra fast.

Have just placed an order with Jesse last week... Fast e-mail responses and he works quickly! Anyone know shipping time from Japan via boat?

+1 for Jesse, I bought all the Tomei bits for my engine rebuild through him, they were ridiculously cheap!

+1 for IM. I've used them not only to import both my 34 and my Stagea, but for all other parts I bought for them also.
